You shouldn't have to navigate this alone.
We match families raising children with disabilities to advocates who have been there. Get help with IEPs, insurance, diagnosis, therapies, and more. Free or affordable, based on what you need.
Free to get matched. Your information stays private.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place
Raising a child with a disability often means learning systems no one prepared you for. Usually while you're exhausted. Usually alone.
The IEP fight
You walk into another meeting unsure of your rights, fighting for services your child is owed.
Insurance and Medicaid mazes
Denials, appeals, waiver waitlists, and prior authorizations. A full job on top of everything else.
The diagnosis journey
Waiting months for evaluations. Trying to understand what a diagnosis means and what comes next.
Finding the right therapies
Speech, OT, ABA, behavioral support. Sorting good help from noise, and getting it covered.
Transition to adulthood
Guardianship, benefits, housing, and work. The cliff at 18 that no one helps you plan for.
The isolation
The feeling that no one around you really gets it, and no clear person to turn to who has been here.
An advocate has already walked this road. They will walk the next stretch with you.
Getting support takes three steps
No endless directories. No cold calling strangers. Tell us what you're facing and we make the connection.

A short, private intake. Your child's needs and the help you're looking for.
